TESTING C1ws.-There is a world
OF difference between cows in the
amount of mix and butter that they
will produce. 1t IS often the case N a
herd of dairy cows that Z animals
milk will make as much butter as two
or three other cows. This COW will
pay a large return for her keep, while
the other two poor ones VIII lose money
for the dsiryman, so that the whole
three cows will not pay him profit
The only way to ascertain what cows
are profitable is to test each indiVidu-
ally. Testing the cows IS Of course
some trouble, but the way thrifty
people make money is by taking
trouble; those that look after the de-
tails are the ones that get ahead, while
men who have no time TO fool away
with such TRIES as testing milking
cows, are the ones that a hardly
make ends meet at the end Of the year.
There is no reas0n or sense 10 a farmer
or dalEyman milking a clwelsht

profit. If one can not SD enough
time to see whether his COWS are pro-
ftable or not, then he should 60 into

N. p. Leclerc has propounded a
theory that odor is. like light and
sound. a phenomenon Of undulation.
He cites in support OF his view that
many substances, like sulphur and cop
per, do not emit odors until they are
rubbed, and 1t Is more reasonable to
suppose that the rubbings III undu-
lations than that under that condition
the substances emit matter which can
not be detected except as a smell.
Again, arsenious acid when thrown
upon a burning coal gives out thick
gray fumes and an odor of garlic. In
the solid state it has no smell, and no
more In the vaporous state il no chem
zeal change takes place in volatilizlng
1t. But when 1t is thrown upon the
hot coal a reduction takes place to ar
senic, that is volatilized and then re-
oxidized on coming in contact with the
air, and We have q smell accompanying
the chemical action the same as in
many other cases we have light or heat
in connection with 1t. II. Leelerc, con-
tinuing his experiments with q rather
imperfect instrument, claims to have
produced interference OF doors analo-
gous with the interference phenomena
of light.

"THE I. f. V. IMPROYED.'

Few reasons why II 10 the best fitting
stock shirt made; 1t is cut upon improved
and patented principle, which produce
effects never before achieved in the at Of a
shirt. The neckband is so cut and made in
combination with the shirt as to firmly hold
the collar in place, preventing It's riding or
slipping up over the neckband, thus over
coming the greatest source Of annoyance to
the wearer in all other systems Of cutting.
The sleeves are so cut as TO give the greatest
length where needed, 80 that the motions
of the arm cannot interfere with the flt OF
the body Of the shirt, thereby relieving all
strain and wear at shoulders and elbows.
The sleeves are REINFORCED at the top to
protect them against the wear Of suspen-
ders seams in outer garments. The should
ers and yoke are slope curved and the back
SO improved as to give the most room
where IL is necessary, producing clean at
In the back with no ridges, combining grace
and comfort. The bosoms are 3-ply linen
throughout, while the front is re-enforced
(made double) on either side Of the bosom,
SO as to prevent cracking away in the laun-
dering, thereby strengthening the weakest
point in q shirt. This shirt is made from
the best grade Of muslin, under the super
vision Of the patentee, by selected aud thor
ougbly competent operators, which guar
antees to every shirt a uniform grade Of
manufacture. Has patented gussets, In
suring the best of wear at end OF all seams.
Fit is absolutely guaranteed from the fact
that It is made in "a different sizes-that is,

and though fluctuations were confined within
a narrower range, they were made up on
generally higher level than yesterday. The
outside Influences affecting values were few
and unimportant. The discussion Of the in
terstate commerce bill has nearly ceased, and
as the strike is generally regarded as practi.
cally terminated, news from that source had
no effect There was more positive DISPOSE
tion shown upon the part OF the bulls TO- sup
port prices, and although the early adyices
from London reported q panicky feeling In
the market for securities there, the effect pro.
duced was but temporary, though the market
was ieverlsh and unsettled during most OF tho
forenoon. Later the London advices reported
a turn in the state of affairs there, and the
feeling was immensely improved.
The best prices Of the day were recorded In
the neighborhood of p. M, after which the
usual afternoon realizations sagged prices of
small fractions. but the close was steady to
finn, close to the best prices reached.
